  • Title: Mycobacterium simiae infection in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
    Author: Sampaio JL, Artiles N, Pereira RM, Souza JR, Leite JP.
    Journal: Braz J Infect Dis; 2001 Dec; 5(6):352-5. PubMed ID: 12010600.
    Abstract:
    Mycobacterium simiae is usually an environmental contaminant rarely associated with human disease. We report a fatal case of M.simiae infection in a 37 year old, HIV positive, male from whom the organism was isolated from blood culture. The identification of M.simiae was performed using DNA amplification followed by analysis on 3% agarose gel of the amplicon fragments after digestion by restriction endonucleases. The precise identification of mycobacterial isolates to the species level is important, with both epidemiological and therapeutic implications.
